Wam

US President Donald Trump has departed the UAE, concluding his three-nation tour of the Gulf region.

President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan bid farewell to the US leader at Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Trump said on Friday the UAE and the US had agreed to create a path for Emirates to buy some of the most advanced AI semiconductors from US companies, a major win for Abu Dhabi's efforts to become a global AI hub.

The US leader pledged on Thursday to strengthen US ties with the UAE, announcing deals totalling over $200 billion, including a $14.5 billion commitment from Etihad Airways to invest in 28 American-made Boeing aircraft.

Trump earlier visited the Abrahamic Family House after addressing business leaders at a UAE-US business council roundtable at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi.

Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, along with senior officials accompanied Trump on a guided tour of the landmark complex and its three houses of worship.
